You had spent a lot of time explaining your identity, who you were in Lloyd's life, and how you were here. Kai was skeptical of you, but that was a Kai thing. But everyone believed you pretty easily when Lloyd started vouching for you.

Zane's father had been generous enough to properly wrap your arm and create a makeshift sling out of your hood, you wouldn't be needing it as much anymore. 

Now you sat by the water, gazing across at Ninjago. The Ninja discussed tactics and ways to get back to Ninjago to save the world. You fiddled with the charm of your golden necklace.

You were enveloped so deeply in the sounds of the waves, you didn't notice the person walking up to you.

"Hey, [Name]. Uh, how's the arm?" Lloyd sat down next to you. You turned from the water to give him your attention.

"Oh, it's fine. I'm ambidextrous anyway. It'll probably take a few weeks to heal, but it'll happen eventually." You simply shrugged it off, this wasn't your first injury.

"You sure you'll be fine?" Lloyd seemed hesitant about something, but you couldn't quite pinpoint what. You tilted your head to the side in an questioning manner.

"Uh, yeah. I can still fight." "I'll be sure not to be some dead weight." "Are you sure you're okay?" This seemed out of character for him, was something wrong?

"No, I just... I don't want to see you get hurt again. We're going to fight an ancient evil and... Well..." He looked down at your arm.

You laughed and looked away for a second before looking back at Lloyd. "Aw, is Lloyd all worried about my safety?" This seemed like the perfect way to get him to relax, he was under a lot of pressure. You made sure to add a teasing tone to lighten up the mood.

"Uh, I-- Wha--" He looked away, hiding his face from view. You tried looking around to see, but all you saw were dusted pink ears.

You couldn't help but laugh again, his reaction was just too sweet. Nobody ever really cared about you like this. Nobody cared enough to make time for you or ask how you were doing. It was nice knowing how all those people with that kind of friend felt. You had to admit, it was a lovely feeling.

Lloyd looked back after hearing [Name's] laughter die down. [Name] had decided to stop teasing him and looked back at the water. He lifted his left hand to his face and studied the white markings all over his lower arm.

Lloyd couldn't help his curiosity, he just had to ask. In the end, he was still somewhat a child, just... older. "What are those?" He pointed to the markings, tilting his head to get a better view.

[Name] jumped as he was lost in thought and hid his arm away from Lloyd. "Huh?"

"Those white markings you just hid, can I see them?" Lloyd wasn't hurt at all by [Name's] reaction, he startled him into hiding them. Surely it wasn't a big deal.

"Uh, sure..." [Name] held out his arm and let Lloyd inspect the markings. His hands traced along the color, forcing a few giggles out of [Name's] mouth.

"When did you get these?" Lloyd didn't look up as he asked and kept staring at the markings. They looked whimsical, straight from a fairytale. "They're really pretty. Just like him..."
